If you ever see an article that is asking you to pay for access, don't pay! Instead, try Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Through ILL, you can submit a request for an article and the ILL team will work to get you a free (emailed) version.
To get to ILL, go to the Briggs Library homepage and click on InterLibrary Loan in the blue box.
